Man dies weeks after scooter crash in Stamford
Christian Dinamarca, 46, was pronounced dead on Wednesday after spending the last few weeks in a hospital following a crash on May 29, according to Sgt. Jeffrey Booth of the Stamford Police Department.
The collision was reported in the 100 block of Hope Street at 10:59 p.m. when officers responded to the area and found Dinamarca suffering from serious injuries that were initially not believed to be life-threatening, Booth previously said. He was taken in an ambulance to Stamford Hospital.
According to Booth, Dinamarca's condition worsened over the past two weeks before he succumbed to his injuries on Wednesday evening.
Investigators believe Dinamarca was struck while riding a stand-up scooter heading north on Hope Street. He was hit by a 2011 BMW that was also headed north and was being driven by a 17-year-old Stamford resident, Booth said.
The collision caused Dinamarca to be thrown from his scooter and onto the road. He was wearing a helmet, Booth previously said. The scooter was heavily damaged and broken into several pieces.
The driver of the BMW initially left the area and parked not far away, according to Booth. He walked back to the scene where he spoke to police about the crash.
The crash remains under investigation. No charges have been filed.
Anyone with information has been asked to contact the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Squad at 203-977-4712.

Midtown Manhattan office shooter fired 47 rounds in deadly rampage: Police
The Midtown Manhattan office shooter fired 47 rounds from his M4-style rifle during the rampage, a number that indicates the suspect, Shane Tamura, reloaded his rifle at least once, the NYPD said. There were 23 shell casings and 13 bullet fragments recovered from the lobby of 345 Park Avenue, police said. Detectives also located 24 spent shell casings and 15 bullet fragments on the 33rd floor of the office building, police said. An additional 800 rounds and a .357 caliber handgun were recovered in Tamura's BMW, which was double-parked outside the building, the NYPD said. Four people, including off-duty New York City police officer Didarul Islam; Blackstone executive Wesley LePatner and security guard Aland Etienne, were killed in Monday's mass shooting. The fourth victim, Julia Hyman, was killed on the 33rd floor. Office cleaner Sebije Nelovic also said she was shot at on the floor. Police said Hyman was the last person Kamura shot and killed before taking his own life. Investigators say they are continuing to look for a motive, but New York City Mayor Eric Adams said it appears Tamura, a former high school football player, was attempting to target the headquarters of the NFL, located in the 345 Park Avenue building but took the wrong elevator and ended up in the 33rd-floor office of Rudin Management. Tamura, 27, worked as a surveillance department employee at the Horseshoe hotel and casino in Las Vegas, a spokesperson for the Horseshoe said on Tuesday. He purchased the rifle used in the shooting for $1,400 from his supervisor at the casino, Rick Ackley, police sources told ABC News. The supervisor complied with the law in the sale, his attorney said in a statement. "Rick Ackley administered the transfer of the firearm used in the tragedy in New York lawfully complying with Nevada and federal gun laws," Ackley's attorney, Chris Rasmussen, said in a statement.
